In the figure below, both the ceiling and the ruler accelerate together at 1.6 m/s2 in the +y direction, and the reading to the "new" length of the vertical wire is as indicated. Ignore the effect on the two diagonal wires. Other parameters are below: Weight of the pan = 5 N Weights (or loads) = 74 N Originally, the wire has a length 0.200 cm, and diameter of 2.7 cm. Calculate the Young's modulus of the wire in Pa. NOTES: Use pi = 3.14. Final answer in ZERO decimal place. 4.000 4.100 4.200 4.300 cm

A meter stick is supported by a knife-edge at the 50-cm mark. You hang masses of 0.40 kg and 0.60 kg from the 20-cm and 80-cm marks, respectively. Where should you hang a third mass of 0.30 kg to keep the stick balanced?
Suppose a horse leans against a wall as shown in the figure. The total of the horse and rider is 500 kg. Part a : calculate the magnitude of the force in newtons on each foot of the horse in the figure assuming the center of the mass of the horse between and the weight is equally divided between the two feet on the ground. Part b: what is the minimum coefficient of friction between the hooves and ground? Note that the force exerted by the wall is horizontal.
A 1 555-kg automobile has a wheel base (the distance between the axles) of l = 2.85 m. The automobile's center of mass is on the centerline at a point 1.35 m behind the front axle. Find the force exerted by the ground on each wheel. Part 1 of 3 - Conceptualize Since the center of mass is located in the front half of the car, there should be more force on the front wheels than the rear ones. The sum of the wheel forces must equal the weight of the car. Part 2 of 3 - Categorize Use the figure as a force diagram. Apply Newton's second law and sum the torques to find the unknown forces. l Part 3 of 3 - Analyze The torque about the front axle is zero, so we have Στις = 0 = (d Fg) - l (2F₁). Thus the force at each rear wheel is given by d F F₁ = 2Ff g || d 21 2F, m)(1. X Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step da N. Since the sum of the wheel forces equals the weight of the car, we have 2F₁ + 2F₁ = Fg.…
The figure below shows a claw hammer being used to pull a nail out of a horizontal board where ? = 27.3°. The mass of the hammer is 1.00 kg. A force of 165 N is exerted horizontally as shown, and the nail does not yet move relative to the board. Assume the force the hammer exerts on the nail is parallel to the nail. A hand uses a hammer to pull a nail out of the ground. The head of the hammer is curved and touches the ground at a single point of contact at the center of the head. The nail in the ground makes an acute angle ? clockwise from the vertical. The nail is hooked in the hammer claw 5.00 cm horizontally to the left of the hammer head's point of contact to the ground.

Two pants of a balance are 26.6 cm apart the fulcrum of the balance has been shifted 0.752 cm away from the center by a dishonest shopkeeper. by what percentage is the true weight of the goods being marked up by the shopkeeper? Assume the balance has negligible mass. answer in units of percentage
A person is pushing a fully loaded 25.40 kg wheelbarrow at constant velocity along a plank that makes an angle a = 32.0° with the horizontal. The load is distributed such that the center of mass of the wheelbarrow is exactly halfway along its length L. What is the magnitude of the total force F, the person must apply so that the wheelbarrow is parallel to that plank? You may neglect the radius of the wheel in your analysis. The F. gravitational acceleration is g = 9.81 m/s². F = N
Consider a horizontal forearm. On one end of the forearm is the elbow, and on the other end is the hand (we are ignoring the size of the hand here). The forearm has a mass of 6.23 kg. The distance from the elbow to the hand is 36.9 cm. If the biceps muscle connects to the forearm a distance of 3.14 cm from the elbow, and the person holds a 24.3-kg dumbbell (with the upper arm vertical and the forearm in a horizontal), how much force (in N) is provided by the biceps muscle? Take the center of mass of the forearm to be midway between the elbow and the hand. Ignore the mass of the hand.
